February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: Wild About Love

You're going to go wild for the February stamp of the month, Wild About Love, and all the great ideas and new products we're showcasing on this month's blog hop! If you're already hopping, then you probably came here from Gina's Little Corner of Stamping Heaven, and you'll visit the Fancy Melissa next. (If you get lost along the way, click HERE for the entire list.)

Since we've been "snowed in" (or at least snowed out of school!) this week, I have had so much fun making cards and a layout with the February stamp of the month and the Ivy Lane paper pack!

I will be featuring Wild About Love at my Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book Unveiling Open House on Saturday, 2/8. (Leave me a comment or check out my Facebook page for more details!)

All of my projects use the NEW Ivy Lane paper pack. I used Desert Sand, Cocoa, and/or Hollyhock inks on all of my projects.

I also used the CTMH/Cricut Art Philosophy for the "fancy" cuts. The stamp carrier sheet tells you how to cut both the heart and "Wild Thing" sentiment. I also used the Art Philosophy cartridge for the heart gift bag.

These three standard-size cards and my layout are all based on sketches from Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 1.

Each card has been embellished with bronze shimmer trim, NEW hemp baker's twine, NEW triangle Durables studes, and/or NEW Pink Flamingo dots.

Here are some close ups from my layout too. (If you look closely, you'll see a sneak peek at the July stamp of the month, Circus Alphabet!)

This page is tucked in behind my layout so that I could include more journaling.

Before you check out what the talented Fancy Melissa has in store for you, please leave me a comment! Here's hoping your February is Wild About Love!
